When Joy wants to get a tattoo to surprise her fiancé Roy Stockton (and
check off another Bucket List item) she arranges for it to be late at night.
Taking Francine and Charlotte with her for moral support, they find no
signs of life in the tattoo parlor and for good reason: the tattoo artist is dead,
and the women are pretty sure it's murder.
But Francine seems to be the only one who wants to find out why he died.
Charlotte is obsessed with motorcycles, Mary Ruth is into internet dating,
and Alice is too wrapped up in her real estate deals to give it a second
thought. And although Joy is investigating something related to the tattoo
parlor in her role as a reporter, she denies it has to do with the murder. If
Francine wasn't so worried the hard-nosed new police chief suspects the
women of perjury, she wouldn't be so determined to get to the bottom of it.
But before she can uncover why the tattoo artist was murdered, Francine
must first survive motorcycle shopping with Charlotte, her husband's first
pedicure, a mistaken identity, handling a bad manicure and an unfortunate
dye job, dodging a doctor too interested in Francine's past, and taking a
position within the tattoo parlor staff that may ink her own death.
